im glad aquafaba is getting attention outside of vegan cooking


It should be 'position: fixed;'


Love it!

Site could use some help though. Consider making a repo for the actual website please! Would love to help clean it up a bit.


Super cool!

Feature idea: having a way of auto-incrementing them would be nice (instead of having to switch icon to a number).


a lil bit of website feedback: on route change, please scroll the page to the top.

if i scroll to the end of the home page, then go to "how it works", i'd expect not to be at the end of that page.

love it, though!


Great find. I'm adding it to our bug-queue now. Thanks so much, I'm glad you like it despite our glitches!


NSFW, btw


I don't think this is true.

Intramuscular testosterone is the most common method of HRT for trans men / trans masc folks.

The effects of which are not "androgen".


What?

Every anabolic/androgenic steroid has some degree of androgenic effects. Researchers and pharma tried for decades to create a steroid that has no androgenic effects, to no avail. Even a 5mg dose of Anavar, one of the softest steroids that were actively prescribed for women, had androgenic effects.

Testosterone has a 100/100 anabolic/androgenic ratio. It's definitely androgenic. It will literally put hair on your chest. I don't know what point you're trying to make here.



In other words, some people don't know how to read graphs.


No, that's not at all what this is about. A better one-sentence summary would be "Accurate data can be very misleading if, for example, it's viewed at the wrong level of granularity."


Well, that seems a particularly tricky chart to interpret.

In this case, I haven't read the article the chart was taken from; I don't know what argument the chart is supposed to support. Stripped of that context, it's a pretty confusing chart. It seems the author (of the SciAm article - Cairo) is using the chart to make a point about lying with charts. I don't think that Cairo is publishing his research on obesity and birth-weight - that seems to be Kitahara et al. If that's what's going on, then it's hardly surprising that the chart is hard to read; Cairo chose it to make exactly that point.

And I think he's being unfair to Kitahara et al., implying that they've deliberately contrived that chart to mislead.


The article is more about how you can read the graph as it is intended (showing a positive association, for example) but reading it uncritically means that you will ignore the possible context that generated the statistics.


I, vegan for 13+ years, was excited until I checked out the link.

This looks like spam tbh.


How about "eat no meat regardless of nutritional value (unless absolutely necessary) because it's unethical to do so"?


There is nothing unethical about eating meat.

Now, the factory farming methods you see and the treatment of the animals being raised for meat, is definitely unethical.


Unethical for whom? It's not like ethics is universal.


I'd say unethical for everyone.

This isn't even just an "animal rights" debate. It's also a debate about the impact that eating meat has on the environment.

There's way too many "eat less meat" articles to list, but here's one: https://time.com/5648082/un-climate-report-less-meat/

Sure, it's a bit of a jump from "eat less meat" to "eat no meat", but the trend is there.


how about instead of eat less meat, eat less shitty meat and cook more? in all likelihood, you'll save money and feel better.


Because it is not objectively unethical.


Nothing is "objectively unethical". That doesn't mean conversations about ethics can't and don't take place.
